点评:I flew in Spitfire PV202 with Aerial Collective 4 years ago and it was a fantastic experience. Everything from the paperwork sent prior to arrival, to friendly professional welcome, the pilot briefing, the flight itself with the excellent Stu Goldspink when I got to FLY A SPITFIRE (still grin when thinking about it) while Stu did the aerobatics. And, just as importantly while I was "jollying about in the sky", the Team looked after my wife with cake and tea and leant a hand with take off and landing photos in a most comfortable location with the best view of the airfield.
That was 4 years ago and I honestly thought there was no way that such a perfect experience could be equalled. Well the Aerial Collective did just that. They remembered myself and my wife from last time and were just as friendly and professional as the first time. I FLEW THE HURRICANE BE 505 (same grin again) with Jon Gowdy. Jon passed control over to me not long after take off to fly to the location where Jon flew an aerobatic display that we had discussed (with me in the middle of it). It was just such a fantastic feeling. To top it off, the flypast with the sound of the Merlin engine prior to landing gave a video worth sharing.
I cannot praise all the Aerial Collective highly enough and I cannot rate the experience. Thanks for 2 out of this world experiences!
翻译:四年前,我乘坐Aerial Collective公司的喷火式战斗机PV202体验了一次精彩绝伦的飞行。从抵达前收到的文件,到热情专业的接待,再到飞行员的飞行简报,以及与优秀的飞行员Stu Goldspink一起驾驶喷火式战斗机的飞行本身(现在想起来都忍不住咧嘴大笑),一切都完美无瑕。Stu还负责特技飞行表演。更重要的是,在我“翱翔蓝天”的同时,团队还贴心地为我的妻子准备了蛋糕和茶,并在一个视野极佳、风景如画的舒适位置帮我们拍摄了起飞和降落的照片。
那是四年前的事了,我当时真的以为不可能再有比这更完美的体验了。然而,Aerial Collective公司却做到了。他们还记得我和妻子上次的飞行经历,并且像第一次一样热情友好、专业高效。之后,我又和Jon Gowdy一起驾驶了飓风式战斗机BE 505(现在想起来还是会咧嘴大笑)。起飞后不久,乔恩就把控制权交给了我,我们飞往之前商定好的地点,乔恩在那里进行了一场特技飞行表演(我也在其中)。那种感觉真是太棒了!更棒的是,降落前飞机掠过,伴随着梅林发动机的轰鸣声,拍下了一段值得分享的视频。
我对Aerial Collective团队的赞美之情溢于言表,这次体验也无可挑剔。感谢你们带给我这两次超凡脱俗的体验!
